When You Say Nothing at All Lyrics
It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heartWithout saying a word you can light up the darkTry as I may I could never explainWhat I hear when you don’t say a thingThe smile on your face lets me know that you need meThere’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave meA touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fallYeah, you say it bestWhen you say nothing at allAll day long I can hear people talking out loudBut when you hold me near you drown out the crowdOld Mister Webster could never defineWhat’s being said between your heart and mineThe smile on your face lets me know that you need meThere’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave meA touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fallYeah, you say it bestWhen you say nothing at allThe smile on your face lets me know that you need meThere’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave meA touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fallYeah, you say it bestWhen you say nothing at all
